2 Peter 1:5-9

5Now for this very reason, making every effort, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;

6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, patience; and to patience, godliness;

7and to godliness, brotherly love; and to brotherly love, love.

8For if these qualities are in you and increasing, they keep you from becoming idle and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

9But anyone who lacks these qualities is blind—nearsighted because he has forgotten his cleansing from past sins.
